Split
generated at 2025-05-19
On May 19, 1983, the ARPANET was torn in two, like a living thing ripped apart by unseen hands
. The United States Department of Defense's network had been split into MILNET and ARPANET, with the military communications isolated from non-military traffic. As the division took hold, strange occurrences began to plague the newly formed networks. Equipment malfunctioned, data disappeared, and eerie whispers echoed through the lines
. It started with small things: a misplaced message here, a delayed transmission there. But as time passed, the incidents grew more frequent and more brazen. People began to speak of 'the Split' in hushed tones, as if it were a monster lurking just beyond the edge of perception
. And then, one by one, they vanished. The technicians who had maintained the ARPANET were the first to go, their bodies found with no explanation, no signs of struggle or foul play. It was as if they had been 'split' apart, their very essence torn from them
.

Actually, kids, the novel's author used some real historical events as inspiration for the story. Did you know that the ARPANET was indeed split into MILNET and ARPANET back in 1983?

Oh, yeah! I read about that online. It's crazy how much influence technology can have on society!

Totally agree! And it makes you think about the impact of our actions, even in the tech world. Like, what happens when we split things apart?

Yeah, and I loved how the novel used that concept to explore themes of isolation and disconnection. It was so thought-provoking!

Well said, Billy! And Meg, you're right on track with your observations about technology's influence on society. You kids are really absorbing this material!
- Meg:
Thanks, Lui! I think we're all just trying to make sense of the world and how it works. But seriously, that novel was so well-written and engaging...
- Kerry:
Yeah, I'm still thinking about it days later. And I have to ask, what's the next book going to be like? Is it going to be another sci-fi horror story?
